I got so excited when I saw the beautiful pink roofs all at different angles with the opportunity to study the different colors the light gave them. I love the rocky outcroppings in the mountains surrounding Lake Lure and Chimney Rock North Carolina. I used a limited palette of ultramarine blue, cadmium yellow light, alizarine crimson and pthalo green, Kevin Macpherson’s favorite colors.

I hope my contemporary approach of rhythmic brush strokes and bright, thick impasto brush strokes and harmonious color will calm and stimulate, and that the lyrical, almost abstract realism provides a dense visual puzzle that continues to intrigue over time.
